October 1, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER: Regarding the #4 Unopposed Motion for Leave to File First Supplemental and Amending Complaint, it is the undersigned's practice to require amended pleadings to be comprehensive (i.e., the proposed amended pleading must include all of plaintiffs allegations as supplemented, amended, and revised without incorporation of any previous pleading). Here, plaintiff's proposed First Supplemental and Amending Complaint is not comprehensive. Additionally, although this Court's federal subject matter jurisdiction is based on diversity, the proposed First Supplemental and Amending Complaint does not adequately set forth the citizenship of BDG Trees, LLC ("BDG") by alleging the members of BDG and each members' citizenship. See, Turner Bros. Crane and Rigging, LLC v. Kingboard Chemical Holding Ltd., Civil Action No. 06-88, 2007 WL 2848154, at *4-5 (M.D. La. Sept. 24, 2007) ("when partners or members are themselves entities or associations, the citizenship must be traced through however many layers of members or partners there may be, and failure to do [sic] can result in dismissal for want of jurisdiction."). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the #4 Unopposed Motion for Leave to File First Supplemental and Amending Complaint is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to plaintiff's right to file a motion for leave to amend that attaches a proposed pleading that is comprehensive and which adequately alleges the citizenship of BDG Trees, LLC. Signed by Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes on 10/1/2019. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no hyperlink or PDF document associated with this entry.) (BLR)
